I honestly wouldn't want the classes to be perfectly balanced. You know a good way to perfectly balance the classes? Make one generic class called FANTASY CHARACTER and give it the combined skills and stats of every existing class and deity. Obviously going too far the other way and having classes be wildly UNbalanced isn't ideal either, but I like that classic EQ classes kind of allow people to play to their strengths. I personally think playing a cleric is unbearably boring and horrible, but some people love to fill that crucial role and heal others. It's a good if imperfect system.
